Course objectives
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
use methods of calculus in the case of functions in more variables, inlcuding integration over curves and surfaces; solve basic optimization problems; exploit differential equations in continuous modeling;
understand theoretical concepts of the probability theory; apply methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics to basic problems.
Syllabus
  • The course is the third part of the four semester block of Mathematics. In the entire course, the fundamentals of algebra and number theory, linear algebra and analysis, numerical methods, combinatorics as well as probability and statistics are presented.
  • Calculus: differential and integral calculus in more variables, selected applications of Calculus, systems of differential equations, numerical solutions.
  • Elements of Probability, random variables and their characteristics, descriptive statistics, gentle introduction to methods of Mathematical Statistics.

Teaching methods
There are theoretical lectures and standard tutorial accompanied by homework assessment.
Assessment methods
During the semester, two obligatory mid-term exams are evaluated (each for max 10 points). The test written during seminars are evaluated in total by max 5 points. The practical final exam is two hours long and written for max 20 points, followed by an oral exam checking theoretical understanding. For successful examination (the grade at least E) the student needs in total 20 points or more.
